We're stewards of our members' resources. We understand ultimately, all costs are paid by our rural electric cooperative members. That drives us to innovate and find ways to provide reliable power in the most economical way.

About Associated Electric Cooperative

For more than 50 years, Associated Electric has provided reliable, wholesale power generation and high-voltage transmission to our six transmission co-op member-owners. They supply 51 local electric cooperatives in Missouri, Iowa and Oklahoma serving about 910,000 member homes, farms and businesses.

Resources

We use a mix of generating resources and technologies to make sure we deliver electricity at the lowest cost possible to our member transmission cooperatives, and we balance that mission with environmental stewardship. Associated Electric Cooperative uses the lowest-cost resources first -- typically hydropower when it’s available, then coal, natural gas and wind energy.
